CNN —Jailed opposition leader Alexey Navalny appeared before a Russian court Monday to defend himself against fresh charges of extremism, in a trial that could extend his prison term by decades. In comments posted to his Twitter account, Navalny said the “absurd” charges could lead to him serving a further 30 years behind bars. Navalny’s team challenged judge Andrey Suvorov, and asked him to recuse himself, according to the team’s Telegram posts. Also present at the hearing is Daniel Kholodny, the former technical director of the Navalny Live YouTube channel, accused in the same extremism case. Putin himself said in December 2020 that if Russian security services had wanted to kill Navalny, they “would have finished” the job.

June 13 (Reuters) - A state of emergency was introduced around the area where two fuel tankers collided on the Lena River in southeastern Russia's Irkutsk region, damaging a container and spilling gasoline into the water, the region's governor said early on Tuesday. The situation was complicated as other vessels were still traveling on the river, Kobzev said. He said that emergency services were working to prevent the diversion of water from the river. The Lena River, the world's 11th longest, originates near Lake Baikal in the Irkutsk region in southeastern Siberia and flows into the Arctic Ocean.

☆ Russia's Navalny faces new charges after prison 'provocation' - lawyer

MOSCOW, April 18 (Reuters) - Russia's leading opposition figure, Alexei Navalny, faces the prospect of new criminal charges after in effect being forced to break the rules of the maximum security penal colony where he is being held, one of his lawyers said on Tuesday. He had then been told he would be charged with thwarting prison authorities, which carries a maximum sentence of five years, Kobzev said. The penitentiary service, which has in the past denied allegations of mistreatment, did not immediately respond to a request for comment. Navalny first came to prominence by drawing attention to the wealth of senior officials in a series of widely watched videos. For a time he was able to channel public dissatisfaction with Vladimir Putin, Russia's unchallenged leader for the last 23 years.

CNN —Jailed Russian opposition figure Alexey Navalny has been experiencing severe stomach issues in prison, and members of his team fear that he may have been poisoned again. Navalny lost eight kilograms over the past 15 days in his isolated prison cell, his spokesperson Kira Yarmysh said in a Twitter post on Tuesday. “The lawyer says that an ambulance was called for Alexey Navalny on the night of Friday to Saturday because of an acute stomach pain. “This may sound like nonsense and paranoia to someone else, but not to Navalny after Novichok,” Kobzev tweeted on Tuesday. Investigative journalist Christo Grozev, who worked on CNN’s “Navalny” documentary, said he believes Putin has “motivation” to poison Navalny.

A gunman opened fire at a draft office in Russia’s Siberian region of Irkutsk on Monday amid a growing backlash against President Vladimir Putin’s chaotic efforts to mobilize more people to boost his troops in Ukraine. A video circulating online, confirmed by NBC News to have been shot in the draft office, showed people inside running for cover and screaming as the gunman fired. But Melvin said it's further evidence of Russia's disorganized mobilization drive. The unrest throughout Russia comes against the backdrop of a voting process underway in four Moscow-occupied regions of Ukraine. Meanwhile, the head of the Russian Orthodox Church has said that Russian soldiers who die in the war against Ukraine will be cleansed of their sins.

Navalnîi a fost arestat duminică la revenirea sa de la Berlin şi a fost încarcerat până cel puţin pe 15 februarie, în cadrul unei proceduri pentru încălcarea controlului judiciar.

Acesta din urmă îşi exprimase la televiziune sprijinul pentru referendumul constituţional din vară care a întărit prerogativele preşedintelui Vladimir Putin.Ancheta a fost suspendată în timpul spitalizării opozantului în Germania, în urma presupusei sale otrăviri, în august, otrăvire de care Navalnîi incriminează Kremlinul, chiar dacă autorităţile ruse au negat în repetate rânduri orice implicare. "Tribunalul este cel care trebuie să asigure venirea sa la audieri. Se va reuşi aceasta în condiţiile carantinei de 14 zile?

Potrivit unui organism de observare a închisorilor din Rusia, Navalnîi a primit în celulă o saltea, o pernă, cearceafuri, o farfurie, o cană, o lingură şi produse de igienă. Marile puteri occidentale au cerut eliberarea imediată a opozantului, cerând de asemenea Moscovei explicaţii cu privire la otrăvirea lui.

„Aleksei Navalnîi este plasat în detenţie pentru 30 de zile, până la 15 februarie”, a anunțat avocatul său, Vadim Kobzev, pe Twitter. Imediat după această decizie, o înregistrare video cu Navalnîi, filmată în sala unde a avut loc audierea, a fost difuzată pe reţele sociale. După ce a supravieţuit acestei presupuse otrăviri, el a fost tratat timp de cinci luni în Germania. Navalnîi a ironizat plasarea sa în detenţie, rezumând situaţia: „Am încercat să te ucidem, nu ai murit, ne-ai supărat, aşa că te închidem”. Plasarea în detenţie a opozantului a fost decisă în urma unei audieri rapide luni după-amiază, organizată de urgenţă chiar în incinta secţiei de poliţiei unde a fost dus după reţinerea pe aeroport.

Alexei Navalnâi a fost plasat în arest pentru 30 de zileOpozantul rus Alexei Navalnâi va rămâne în arest pentru 30 de zile. Decizia a fost luată de Judecătoria Himki, în urma ședinței de judecată care a avut loc în incinta inspectoratului de poliție, scrie presa rusă. Navalnâi spune că această condamnare este inventată și că nu se face vinovat de nicio infracțiune. Serviciul penitenciar rus a cerut instanțelor să înlocuiască condamnarea sa cu suspendare cu una executorie. Dacă sistemul de justiție rus va aproba această cerere, Navalnâi ar urma să ajungă la închisoare pentru trei ani și jumătate.

Navalnî se află în Germania, unde a fost tratat după ce a fost otrăvit cu noviciok, la sfârșitul anului trecut. Potrivit hotărârii Serviciului Federal al Penitenciarelor (FSIN), Navalnîi a fost dat în căutare pe 29 decembrie 2020, deoarece până pe 24 septembrie nu se cunoştea locul aflării acestuia. Potrivit Serviciului Federal, Navalnîi a „evitat controlul” în Germania după ce au fost lansate măsurile inițiale de căutare pe 27 noiembrie. Navalnîi şi fratele său au fost acuzaţi de comiterea unei escrocheriu în valoare de 31 de milioane de ruble. Fratele său, Oleg Navalnîi a fost condamnat la 3,5 ani de puşcărie şi a fost pus în libertate în iunie 2018.

Navalnâi se află în Germania, unde a fost tratat după ce a fost otrăvit cu noviciok, la sfârșitul anului trecut. Avocatul său Vadim Kobzev, a precizat însă că este puțin probabil ca adăugarea lui Navalnâi pe lista persoanelor urmărite să-i afecteze planurile de a zbura duminică la Moscova. Potrivit decretului Serviciului Federal al Penitenciarelor (FSIN), publicat pe 29 decembrie, Navalnâi a „evitat supravegherea” în Germania după ce au fost lansate măsurile inițiale de căutare pe 27 noiembrie. Din cauza acestor dosare penale, Navalnâi a fost descalificat şi nu l-a putut înfrunta pe Vladimir Putin la alegerile prezidenţiale din martie 2018, în care Putin a fost reales, conform agenţiei de presă spaniole. „Tribunalul ar putea să-şi schimbe întreaga condamnare cu suspendare în una cu executare şi să-i dea trei ani şi jumătate de închisoare”, a spus Kobzev.

Amintim că Navalnîi a fost otrăvit în data de 20 august, când s-a simțit brusc rău în timpul unui zbor intern din Siberia către Moscova. Două zile mai târziu, el a fost transportat în Germania pentru tratament, fiind indus în comă. Un alt motiv a fost anunțat că Navalnîi „Ar fi fost otrăvit în avionul care l-a transportat în Germania”.
